Ride hight

[Shaunyboy]

Been looking at lowering springs and noticed all the 1.8t springs are 40mm 45mm etc, so what is the cupra r lowerd by allready, 45mm springs would lower an lcr by what?

 

[mrvavavoom]

cupra is 10mm lower than say a 1.6.............. cupra r is about 7-10 mm lower than a cupra

 

[Shaunyboy]

Soo, 45 would be roughly 25mm lower give or take?

 

[mrvavavoom]

so on a cupra 40mm springs actually lower it by 30mm and so on

 

[mrvavavoom]

yep thats about right

 

[Shaunyboy]

Kool, good to know, some half whit just said to me chop the springs, really i just want to lower the rear down as its on stilts, but chopping the rear springs = disaster.

 

[mrvavavoom]

yup springs are quite cheap anyway but if you go too low you will have to change the shocks for shortened ones

 

[Shaunyboy]

40mm should be ok i guess.

 

[mrvavavoom]

that should be fine...

 

[Shaunyboy]

providing all goes well coilovers should be on the cards after christmas.

 

[mrvavavoom]

i thought about coilovers but are you really gonna mess with the setting every week etc most people just set and leave them which imo is a bit of a waste of money a good spring and shock set up is very good and cheaper

 

[james walker]

im sure you posted a thread about this a couple of days ago and i posted 15mm lower than standard??

 

[Shaunyboy]

Nope not started a tread about this matey.

 

[Shaunyboy]

How low is that roughly?

 

[JamJay]

I'd say about -40mm perhaps. Looks nice though, I want mine like that. I wonder what suspension it has?

I'll have to do something a bit different.. maybe make my foul blue track wheel my road wheels - then they will definitely look different!!
